I haven't really talked about it here, but I really like the Shantae series, and this game has been a really longtime coming. It was Kickstarted at the exact same time as Mighty No. 9 and was supposed to be out about a year later, but here we are, and Mighty No. 9 is beating it to the punch. Half-Genie Hero is finally due out on September 27, and will also be available physically thanks to Xseed Games.

Here's this year's trailer:

EDIT: Oh, and here's Koji Igarashi playing the demo last year during the Bloodstained Kickstarter finale. (I like the part where IGA says a few words in English and catches the host off guard.)

I haven't seen an official explanation for why the physical Wii U version is being released a week later than the PS4 and Vita versions, but I doubt it was a deliberate choice. The digital version is still being released on the 20th like all the other platforms. I would guess it's some Nintendo manufacturing thing.
